Windows desktop app · Free & Pro

Your co-pilot for every champ select and every game.

LaneWise reads the local League Client during champ select and the Live Client Data API during your match to recommend champions, items, runes, and macro play — with a plain-language reason behind every suggestion, not just a number.

Reads only the local League Client and Live Client Data API on your own machine. No game files are modified, nothing is injected into the game process, and no gameplay data is sent to any LaneWise server.

What it does

One companion, from lobby to loading screen

LaneWise runs alongside League of Legends as a lightweight, click-through overlay. It watches the phases of your game and surfaces the right advice at the right moment.

Champ-select advisor

Detects your role and scores every eligible champion on lane matchup, team synergy, enemy composition, and damage balance — live, as picks and bans happen.

Live item coach

Re-ranks your item purchases against your champion's build path and the enemy team's threat profile: damage type, healing, crowd control, burst.

Macro & matchup tips

Short, stabilized coaching based on team gold, objective timers, and your lane opponent — not a wall of stats to parse mid-game.

In-game overlay

A frameless, click-through, always-on-top card set that stays out of your way. Toggle with a hotkey, drag cards into position, positions persist per resolution.

Screenshots

See it in action

Real screenshots from the running app — the champ-select advisor, the reasoning behind each suggestion, and the in-game panels.

  • The LaneWise window during champ select, showing the team panel, ranked recommendations, team-needs meters and ban suggestions side by side.

    The full window during champ select — your team, ranked picks, what the composition still needs, and who to ban.

  • A ranked list of champion recommendations, each with a reason, a confidence figure and a numeric score breakdown.

    Every pick is explained: why it fits, the score breakdown behind it, and how confident the engine actually is.

  • The top recommendation expanded to compare it against the next four candidates on a horizontal bar chart.

    Open a pick to compare it against the alternatives before you lock in.

  • Ban recommendations listing three champions, each with the threat reason and a numeric weight.

    Ban suggestions ranked by threat — with the reason spelled out, never just a name.

  • A pre-game panel showing a lane plan broken down by level, followed by a list of matchup warnings.

    A lane plan for the first levels, plus the matchup traps to avoid.

  • An in-game panel listing trade, all-in and defensive combos alongside power spikes by level and item.

    Combos and power spikes for your champion, timed to levels and item completions.

How it works

Two moments, two jobs

Champ select

Draft, explained

LaneWise connects to the League Client while you're in champ select and reads the live session: your role, revealed allies/enemies, and bans.

  • Ranks pick candidates for your role with a 0–100 score and human-readable reasons and warnings
  • Suggests bans based on lane threats and flexible enemy picks
  • Shows "why not" exclusions so you understand what was passed over, and why
  • Surfaces a rune page, skill order, and summoner spell suggestion the moment you lock in
In-game

Live, without the clutter

Once the match loads, LaneWise switches to the Live Client Data API and shows a small set of overlay cards you can reposition or hide.

  • Item coach re-ranks your next purchase against the enemy team's build and threat profile
  • Macro tips flag objective timers, gold swings, and side-lane pressure
  • Matchup notes track your lane opponent's power spikes through the game
  • A post-game summary rolls everything into a short report you can compare over time
